Voyager is known for telling stories that rely heavily on
technobabble. Sometimes it supports the story, sometimes it
doesn’t. Season Two’s “Deadlock” is one of those cases in which
technobabble was inescapable, but also necessary. How else do you
explain two Voyager’s, two disheveled buns of steel, and Harry
Kim’s dopplegänger?

In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Larry
Nemecek, Charlynn Schmiedt, and Brandon-Shea Mutala to discuss the
oddity that is “Deadlock,” parallel universes, Vidiians,
generational ships, Chakotay’s weird baby comments, an inordinate
number of script changes, and much more.

In our news segment, we look back at 19 years of First Contact
and 29 years of The Voyage Home, talk with Terrace Cassidy about
Geek Nation Tours’ new “Touch the Stars” program, and try to
unravel the mysterious case of Enterprise stunt director Vince
Deadrick’s disappearing chair.
